The mission of the Institute for Catholic Life and Leadership is to develop authentic and credible witnesses for the New Evangelization, who have hearts on fire for Christ. Forming parish lay leaders in accord with the heart and mind of the Church is key to fostering a culture of discipleship and evangelization in western Oregon. Our lay formation certificates, workshops and lectures are designed to help you proclaim Jesus Christ to a world in need, and through His grace, form other disciples to do the same.
